The nurse should administer an injection of postexposure prophylaxis for tetanus. Tetanus is a toxic substance produced by a bacterium that cannot survive air (oxygen) exposure, that is why deep wounds are more vulnerable to tetanus. A moderate burn injury is considered an open dirty wound, therefore the patient should be protected from tetanus.
There is a vaccine for tetanus, that provides immunization from this disease, but it needs to be repeated every 10 years. However, in cases where there is an open dirty wound, the vaccine is believed to be inactive if it was not done within the last 5 years.
In this case, the child will not receive the tetanus vaccine, but an injection of active immunization, which acts much faster, but does not last as long as the vaccine.
Answer: See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
The immune system allows us to discriminate from the outsider.
There is innate immunity which we carry from birth and protects us against antigens; correspond to barriers that prevent harmful bodies from entering the body.
It is composed of some of these components:
- Skin and mucous membranes (physical barrier): the skin has microorganisms that inhibit the growth of pathogens.
-NK cells (natural killer): they are leukocytes that recognize changes in the cell surface of cells infected by viruses and tumor cells. These target cells are recognized by NK cells, which trigger cytotoxic response and destroy them.
- Neutrophils: white balloons with granules that release enzymes that destroy and digest cells.
-Cytokines (including interleukins 1 and 6, interferons, tumor necrosis factor: TNF): they are low molecular weight proteins that generate immune system response by recruiting or inhibiting the functions of specific cells (dendritic cells) or neutrophils, regulate proliferation and cell differentiation, activate or inhibit the expression of some genes.
